update document name field on saving

[bilisa]

Hi all

I want my document name field inside my document to be updated when I use
save or save as. Is it possible with VBA? Any help is appreciated.

I want my document name field inside my document to be updated when I use
save or save as. Is it possible with VBA?

Could you please be more specific by what you mean with "document name
field"? Have you inserted a FILENAME field? In what part of the document
(main text, header, footer, other)? And which version of Word do you have?

The simplest way would be to have a macro named FileSaveAs (since updating the
name is really only relevant when saving the file to a new location or name). A
macro named the same as a toolbar command overrides the built-in behavior, so:

Sub FileSaveAs()
Dialogs(wdDialogFileSaveAs).Show
For each sec in ActiveDocument.Sections
sec.Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range.Fields.Update
sec.Headers(wdHeaderFooterFirstPage).Range.Fields.Update
Next
End Sub
